I actually have a couple questions about the gifted wolves. I can understand how the Were-Seer would work, but the Were-Ranger and Were-Hunter confused me a bit, how exactly would that work?

It would be fun to have you in the game Kath!

I'm definitely in if the game starts this week.

Beregond · 02-15-2009, 05:38 PM

Sorry, I'm officially out of this game - too many other things I need to be doing. I hope everyone has fun!

Nogrod · 02-15-2009, 05:48 PM

A chess theme, and a nice looking bunch of players, and a role-play oriented game, and having had a way too terrible games the last few times (being lynched or killed by the wolves very early on), and having had exhausting weeks in RL workwise, I really need a break-away...

Yes, count me in Shasta.

PS. Let me warn you that I may try some new openings in this game. Like I haven't said this a thousand times before... but let's see.

The evil Ranger and Hunter work exactly the same as the Gifted Ranger and Hunter, except that the evil Hunter will take the person they are hunting down with them when they die, regardless of alignment.

Sorry, just poking my nose in here out of curiosity...I'm still confused about the evil Hunter and Ranger.
Do the werecreatures know each other's identities? In which case, how would an evil Hunter ever take anything but an innocent with them?
And the evil Ranger...against what would he be protecting his fellows? The werebear?

The Black Queen and the Black Rook, Knight, and Bishop aren't the same team. The Black Knight could protect his team from the Queen, or perhaps protect someone else to be able to claim Ranger later, or something. The Black Rook could potentially take the Black Queen or Pawn with them, or an innocent.

Hmm, this sounds interesting.

I think I'll join.

P.S. Quack.

Shastanis Althreduin · 02-17-2009, 01:03 AM

Great! If I can just get Kath and Legate to confirm, I can start this game up!

Kath · 02-17-2009, 05:25 AM

I'll confirm with the warning that I will have to miss a Day somewhere along the way. If that's ok then I'll definitely play.

satansaloser2005 · 02-18-2009, 10:26 PM

So I ended up borrowing a laptop from school, at least until my new power cord comes in. So, if you'll have me back after all my lovely drama hehe, I'd be happy to still be in.

satansaloser2005 · 02-19-2009, 07:58 PM

You're probably right, Brinn, but I've not been on a lot so I haven't seen him.

I'm fine with waiting an extra day too, if it's better. Either way's fine with me.

Kath · 02-20-2009, 04:49 AM

Ooh by the way, what's the deadline for GMT?
